[NeedHelpNow]

I'm new to this forum and computer stuff. Anyway last week I was getting popups for Winfixer and winantiviruspro. Lately, I've been getting trafficexplorer.com, vipfares.com, matchservice.com popup pages. they don't appear very often. but the come up from time to time. It's been annoying and I haven't logged into anything just so I can protect my information. I've run Adware, spybot, spyware doctor, and symantec client. all updated. I just updated Windows as well. Still getting popups. Hopefully someone can help me ASAP. Thank you.

Heres' the hijack this log.

Looks better - how is it running now?

[NeedHelpNow]

I'll surf around the net for a bit and see if I get the popup pages. I'll get back to you soon. hopefully in an hr. If I encounter a problem, I'll post again immediately.

Also can you tell me what was wrong with my computer? Did I have a virus or something? and where I might have gotten it from? Thank you.

[Daemon]

You had a hijacker - let me know if it is OK now.

[NeedHelpNow]

Things seem to be fine. Surfed for awhile and didn't get the popup pages. A HUGE THANKS for your time. Any more steps I should take? Should I keep the vundofix application?

[Daemon]

You're welcome - glad to help You don't need to keep VundoFix.

To help keep you clean follow the recommendations in Tony's article here:

So how did I get infected in the first place?
